$46 after tax if you buy 4 of them. I don't know about single since I buy many at a time.

I think that last year (or maybe the year before) was like $32. Maybe $46 is as good as it gets anymore.

How many do you buy at a time? just curious.
 
That depends how cheap it is. Back 8-10 years ago, I got a whole pallet at a LFS since it was like $22 a box... so 48 boxes then. They don't go bad, so I just let them sit around. Friend of mine did the same thing and his Honda SUV almost broke taking all of them home. :)

I wish I had that much salt for a good price. I love changing water. It’s such a shame that salt prices have gone so high. They are a necessity.

Reminds me of the time in 1988 when I assumed it was Ok to fill up the trunk of a Nissan Sentra with landscaping rocks from a friends house and drive it time. Thing was fishtailing all over the road.

They don't go bad but something does happen to them over time.
I used to buy in bulk as well. I got to the bottom few boxes and the mix ratio was way off. Some bags were very hard like bricks almost. I thing the bags are porous to a very small degree and moisture somehow leached in.

I have had one or two get hard in that larger order. I use the whole bag at a time, so I don't care. Most of the time the are fine. The new plastic in the newer batches is much more strong than the older stuff - I have to cut them now instead of just jamming my finger into them and pulling. I have not had any get hard in years and years. I think that my last order must have been 2 years ago now that I think about it.

Dude had to take his Honda, or whatever, to the dealer and have them reset the suspension warning systems. :) 1988... oh what a simpler time... you could mess your stuff up and it would just go back without any issues.
 
If you haven't used/abused the Petsmart 35% off to sign up for autoship it's the best deal I knnow of.
This is for 160g buckets

You could also have a friend or relative do you a favor if you have already done it on your own account.

I usually make a deal with a LFS to buy 10-12 at a time, (instead of online). They have always been happy to make a deal for a quick sale, and often get a better deal for themselves when they buy quantity.

Reasonable deal for AWC to be honest. Especially if one buys in bulk like a few of you do. Thanks for the heads up.
